The declaration makes the reduction and reorganization of the army con- tingent upon success of the negotia- tions for the complete tranguilization of Europe and security for the French frontiers. Will Proceed Slowly. i The Government said it would go slowly and carefully in applying the French laws to Alsace and Lorraine. “This,” it added, “cannot be pur- sued except with the best of counsel, in full respect for acquired rights. | The declaration reaffirmed the Her- viot ministry’s policy of security and | reassured Poland as to France's posi- tion on this question. { “Faithful to all its allies, just and | pacific toward all nations,” says the | statement, “France has the profound desire to give to the world the repose and stability of which it has such great need; but the first conditions of stable peace is that France herself | be securé. i Caillaux Sits Rigid. | Caillaux, who was the storm center of the tumult in the chamber, sat| rigid on the government bench, never looking to the right nor to the left | and never acknowledging by a single | motion either the cries of hatred from | the right or the cheers and applause | from the radicals.

The Interstate Com- merce Commission and the Depart- ment of Justice will also utilize part of the Hurley-Wright Building. Agrees With Secretary Work. Mr. Hoover said there was an agree- ment between Secretary of the Inte- rlor Work and himself favoring trans- er of the Bureau of Mines from the Department. This transfer was re- garded, however, as needing legisla- tive authority, as the Bureau of Mines was established in the Department of the Interior by act of Congress in 1910, although its transfer to Com- merce was recommended by the joint congressional committte more than a decade later.

Such a ban will nullify, in effect, the United States customs order of April 12, which removed all restri¢c- tions on southbaund traffic from Ca- lexico in Mexicali, just across the line from here. Inspector Ybarra said the new re- striction would remain in force as long as the United States =uthori- ties continue to enforce the 9 o'clock ban on northbound travel. “At any time American officials decide to re- move all restrictions at the line we will reciprocate,” he said.

Approval Is Expected. Before the present congress ad- journs next Safurday it is confidently expected t! the 3,000 delegates as- sembled here from every State in the { Union will authorize construction of the proposed auditorium and that the | preliminary steps toward its actual | creation will be begun before. the close jof the coming Summer. Sentiment in {favor of the project is almost over- whelming. | However, after the report had been read a motion was made that no vote should be taken until after the dele- { gates had had an opportunity to care- {fully study the suggested plan for {financing the project. Another mo- tion to send a substantial check to the {architect compensation for the work he has already done was voted down, but this action only resuited irom a sentiment that it would be premature at this time. Another mo- tion covering this question, it is thought, will be introduced later at ! this congress. Seating Capacity of 4,000. | The proposed auditorlum would Ihave a seating capacity of 4,000 per- | sons, and a considerable number more could be taken care of in the aisles jand other places in the event of 4n emergency, such as last night, when 16,000 persons packed the Washington Auditorium and many more failed to { obtain admission to hear the President A speckil commit- | (1o gefendants have been charged with | deliver his address of welcome. | "In the roughly sketched plans, {drawn by Russell Pope of New York City, it is suggested that in place of one large gallery, the auditorium | contain 48 large boxes, each sym- bolical of a State in the Union. The | greater part of the floor of the au- | ditorium would be level. only the By this method, the architect pointed out, the floor ,could be converted into a beantiful banquet hall the drop- ping of a few curtains bearing mural paintings of colonial scenes. {" White marble would { throughout the building, matching Ithe stone of Memorial Continental | Hall. It is proposed to construct it on the large tract of land now com- pletely owned by the Daughters of {the American Revolution, immedi- iately in the rear of the present ad- { ministration building, which is_ad- | jacent to Memorial, Continental Hall. {1t would be bounded by C street on I'the south, Eighteenth street on the west, D street on the north and the adminiStration building on the east. Colonial Type Building. i The style of architecture would be | pure colonial, with large, stately col- | umns, supporting marble porticos at | every entrance. ~Memorial Continen- | tal Hall, now an integral part not only of the Daughters of the American Revolution, but of Washington a | ity as well, would remain at it is now and would be used for State meetings |and special auxiliary sessions during | future contihental congresses, Of the approximate cost of $2,000,000, | the building, it is estimated, would take up $1,575.000. The architects’ fees would be $150,000, probable fur- | nishings not listed by the architeéct | $100.000, and other. additions would | carry the figures to the total stated. | Money obtained by. renting, it is ex- pected, would help supply the costs of maintaining the new auditorium. The problem of financing the propo- sition_is taken up in a special report, which Mrs. Cook also presented to the congress. It is estimated that the cost | of building the auditorium, based on & | membership of only 140,000, would be | only about $13 per capita. Mrs. Cook | trankly dislikéd the idea of mortgag- i ing Memorial Continental Hall, but two alternative plans are suggested, as follows be d ! Problem of Finances. “On’ the basis of costs {by the president general | port—$1,825,000—and _taking 140,000 | a8 an approximate estimate of paid-up | memberships, the cost per capita for ! building _the auditorium would be in the neighborhood of $13. | “While our property has a certain commercial value—about $1.110,000, | with buildings and land—it is not what | might be termed first-class collateral or security because of the kind of buildings thereon. Further, it has & sentimental value to the society which | would doubtless preclude offering it.as security, with the possibility of losing it in years to come in case payments | should be defaulted. This is not {likely to happen, but in considering a gigantic project of this sort every possible angle should be viewed. “As reputable -contractors.are un- willing to start a building until the cash for payment is assured, it would be advisable and probably necessary to ralse 50 per cent or more of the estimated cost. After that it would be an easy matter to borrow money, using our property as - collateral, which would mean interest at 514 per cent or thereabouts. So much de- pends upon the condition of the financial world at the time money would be needed that it is very dif- ficult accurately to forecast:just what position we would find eurselves in. ““Therefore, the feasible scheme. sug-
